Abstract:

Buddhism is a mental training method. It investigates human psychology, emotion, cognition, behaviour, motivation, and therapeutic approaches. Buddhist psychology is a subset of the greater Buddhist ethical and philosophical framework, and its psychological language is affected by ethical undertones. Its ideology is deeply rooted in humanistic psychology, which emphasises empathy and constructive human behaviour. Buddhist-derived concepts such as mindfulness and Metta are beneficial to health and well-being. The main foundation of every being, according to this article, is not an unchanging soul, but a life-current, an ever-changing stream of energy that is never the same. As a result of this misunderstanding of selfhood, ultimate unhappiness exists. It demonstrates how genuine happiness should not be based on external factors. It can only be accomplished via sustained attention, emotional equilibrium, and mindfulness training. This study also explores mind-training approaches inspired by diverse Buddhist traditions that aid in this endeavour.
